Description
Summary:	The purpose of this work is to analyze the similarities and differences in the clinical and psychosocial indicators of men and women with paranoid schizophrenia. In the course of the study, socio-demographic, psychosocial and clinical indicators were studied. In terms of outcome, women showed worse social and cognitive functioning than men. In men, significant correlations were established between social functioning and passport age, duration of illness, number of hospitalizations, length of hospitalizations, negative symptoms and quality of life; in women — with passport age, negative symptoms, quality of life, and cognitive indicator. Logit-regression analysis showed that gender is more associated with social functioning, but not with cognitive indicator and quality of life.
